sombody sent simon anderson a dollar,
was it velzy?
did simon anderson send velzy back a dollar and a quarter?
did ward coffee send velzy 2bux to begin with?
did sam K take a dollar from velzy?
did tom blake move
away from the coast
when he got embarrassed
at people insisted calling him inventor.
…ambrose…
the truth is out there
see it?
fox mulder is ficticious
surfboard design is tangible reality
Whose Idea was it any way?
…MINE…
and everybody is copying me.
AND I’m so pissed I’m gonna drop in on everybody and
not only steel their Ideas,I am gonna make e’m work.
sam reid said to lunchmeat,he’ll quote him at the drop of a hat
‘’‘There isnt nothing new,just new to you’‘’
every fin shape every tail shape every nose concave has been done.
at best thse elements are compiled by “INOVATORS”
alas that is like to make new again
in alternative combinations
for any ego
YES EGO TRIPPING
blow hard to take random credit
for this ancient discipline
is stilted and egocentric.
the quiet 'inovators know that in their soul
that they owe ALL this to some one
no way can any jerk
that started surfing at 35 years old
after moving from upstate
michigan to a beach town and started mulling over
dezigne preencipples
lay claim to anything more
than their personal epiphanies
I have been patiently waiting
for so many people to catch up for so long
when they finally get it
10 20 30 years later
then act like they are pissed
because they invented
the fin ,or the rail or the nose…
has a tendency to irk my sensibilities.
show respect for our predecessors like
the velzys and dont con yourself
that velzy didnt learn from the guys that came before him
and on and on back to the single cell organism
we ARE MIMICS
we learn and teach that way
original thought Hah
tell it to the
patent office?
just like patent leather,the shine wears off in seven years
and then it’s suede again…
…ambrose…
remember
I invented the single celled animal
every time you recognise one you owe me 34 cents
I wondered hmmmmm1987
the begining of …
your conceptual theoretical
application of hypothisis
surely originally called
by true ancient watermen
for paddling the clliffs out and about
the pacific basin somthing
that was far less sylablabicly
tounge twisting and catchy than a term
borrowed from junior highschool track teams.
there is an obvious gllitch in the hypothisis in that
surface crossing and country crossing
refer to diffrent densities of terain
When I heard of the elder statesman from sandiego
refer to this concern as cross country
I was captivated and in awe and admiration.
but the tone seems to dis the chance
that others wre doing similar apps
I personally ,in 1977 I might add
called the range of applied foam alternative craft
whale boards and or barges in honor of the
Young brothers barges that deliver cargo inter Island
in this archipeligo,which by the way
named boards over twelve feet with
what might be termed displacement bottoms
in the monosylabic ‘OLO’ term
no gretchen Roy did not invent the word nor did Mr wegner…
as to the success of your endevor making and learning what the board had to teach,Kudoss
but please refrain from intimating tht you may have been free of outside conceptual influence
in design maters or I will be upset.
clearly one of your closest alies and friends
…ambrose…
you should see the one I made for run
he’s working with it now in the greater pv cliff zone
another environ crying out for such adaptive
surf forms.
…nothing like a thin 16’’ tail for versatility…
the real question is are you gonna go to the birthday party for the great spirit
the man with a plan
the resin swirl god
who watched you accidentally cut an extra foot off a surfboard and put NorCal a foot ahead of SoCal in the race to 6 footers.
PM for details…its a surprise…
I don’t know about all that stuff, but I do know the wax you invented kicks ass, and sticks too… Better than the other stuff that kept sticking to my ass, and leaving the board a little slick.
Mahalo and aloha, Taylor
i’m not an innovator, just a rider(or pretending to be) i owe it all to those you mentioned.RIP Hawk…
…so…is like a punk did with prog rock back in the ´70 s …
